Chapter 122 - Dimensional Passage, Resurrection
Chapter 122: Dimensional Passage, Resurrection
If they were being surrounded by Direbeasts, that was understandable. After all, this was the wilderness, and also the territory of the Blue-eyed Azure Scaled Dragon.
Then…
It would be very bizarre for the Raging Gorilla to suddenly disappeared and the mental assault that came after!
The Raging Gorilla was dozens of stories high and a proper behemoth. For it to disappear just like that into the pool, it was sure very strange.
The mental assault was even weirder!
Mental-type Arcanas were extremely rare, even among human Arcanists, much less those dumb Direbeasts!
According to the current statistics, there were no Direbeasts who are adept at mental attacks or had Mental-type Arcanas.
Also, whose mental attack did Ai Yuhe suffer from? A Direbeast? A human?
“This valley is all-around weird!” Yang Ling’er said. “How about we leave first?”
“Yeah, safety first!”
Ai Yuhe nodded. Her previous experience was a total disaster, and if not for Ling Jiu rescuing them in time, both of them would have died here. She still had some lingering fear when she recalled that, and did not want to stay here any longer than she needed to.
“Since we know this place is weird, how can we not explore it?”
Ling Jiu looked at the cold and deep pool. “What if we find something extraordinary? Besides, isn’t Celeste around to hold things back?”
Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling’er frowned slightly, but seeing Celeste beside them, they finally agreed.
Besides, they too wanted to know the truth behind this valley.
“Regardless, we need to be careful.” Yang Ling’er reminded.
“Okay!”
Ling Jiu nodded.
“Ling Jiu, what do you plan to do?” Ai Yuhe asked slowly.
“Didn’t you say the Raging Gorilla disappeared into the pool? Then let’s drain the pool first!”
Ling Jiu smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a water dragon rose from the pool, straddling halfway through the valley as it rushed out of it.
“Drain the pool?”
Ai Yuhe understood Ling Jiu’s intentions. “That’s just too troublesome!”
As she said, she pointed into the air and a dark hole appeared in the void. The magical thing was that they could see what was beyond the hole, and it was a wasteland.
“This is…”
Ling Jiu looked at the wasteland inside the hole and said in surprise, “That’s outside the valley?”
“That’s right!”
Ai Yuhe nodded slightly. “It’s a Dimensional Tunnel I’ve made. I used the tunnel to connect to the outside of the valley. You can send the water out of the pool to the outside of the valley through it, much easier that way!”
“You can use it like this, Dimensional Arcana sure is nice!”
Ling Jiu exclaimed and then controlled the water dragon to rush into the dimensional tunnel. At the same time, a hole also appeared outside the valley.
A water dragon rushed out of the hole and then flowed into the red wasteland before spreading all over.
“I’ll help too!”
Ling’er joined in as well.
With the joint efforts of the three, the pool water was decreasing at a speed visible to the eye, and at this rate, the pool would be fully drained in no time.
Yet, things did not develop as the three had hoped. Not long after they started draining the pool, roars suddenly rang from outside the valley.
“Ror!!!”
“Raaaaawr!”
Not long later, a swarm of menacing Direbeasts changed into the valley.
There were seven-story tall Vajra Apes, forty to fifty meter long Titan Pythons, nine-story tall Burstfang Boars, forty-five-meter-tall koalas…
“Heh, there’s something strange about this, all right!”
The corners of Ling Jiu’s mouth raised as an intriguing arc appeared. “You guys continue, I’ll deal with them!”
“Also Celeste! Protect Ling’er and Yuhe, if anything happens to them, you can forget about your fish treats for today, understand?”
“Okay!”
“Meowww…”
Ling Jiu nodded in satisfaction, and then rushed out.
Krashhh! Dush! Thwack!
Ling Jiu transformed into a lightning bolt and swept through the Direbeasts. A few moments later, all of the Direbeasts that charged into the valley were dead.
They were all Class 6 Direbeasts, about a total of 50 of them. They could be said to be a powerful pack, but too bad, they ran into Ling Jiu.
Ling Jiu put away all of the Direbeast corpses, and returned to the pool, as he made an OK sign to the two ladies. “Done!”
“It’s the same as the last time!”
Ai Yuhe said solemnly. “We were also exploring the pool when they were attacked by these swarm of Direbeasts…”
“Meow!”
At this moment, Celeste suddenly let out a high-pitched screech, as its eyes stared at the center of the pool.
“What’s wrong, Celeste?”
Ling Jiu looked at Celeste.
“Meooow!”
Celeste stretched out its tiny paw and pointed at the center of the pool. Ling Jiu looked over, only to see that the center of the pool was empty, and there was nothing.
“Celeste, you noticed something?” Ling Jiu asked in confusion.
Ai Yuhe and Ling’er also looked at Celeste. Celeste was a Class 8 Direbeast, and it should not be on guard for no reason.
Celeste did not respond, but instead charged to the center of the pool, and took a deep breath.
Suddenly, a massive vortex appeared in its mouth as the water in the pool was sucked into the vortex. Celeste’s stomach was like a bottomless pit as it continuously sucked and swallowed the pool water.
“Celeste has this ability?”
Ling Jiu was stunned.
“Damn you!”
At this moment, a voice mixed with anger and panic rang out, as a crystal clear human-shaped pool of water rushed out of the pool.
The moment the human-shaped water appeared, it sprinted into the distance.
Seeing this, how could Ling Jiu not realize that something extraordinary had happened. He immediately blinked at the human-shaped water.
However, Celeste was faster, and it easily blocked the path of the human-shaped water, and then opened its mouth for a… cat’s roar!
“Roar!!!”
A rolling sound wave came crashing over as circles of visible shock waves erupted. Ling Jiu and the other two felt their ears ring as their scalps felt like they were going to burst open.
The human-shaped water took the brunt of the attack as ripples appeared all over its body before it flew back, and crashed back into the pool.
At this moment, a shocking change happened in the human-shaped water, as the liquid body gradually condenses into a solid form, and into a… person?
However, the person had clearly fainted, with blood still on the corner of his mouth. His face was pale, and by the looks of things, was knocked out by Celeste’s roar!
“Ugh…”
Seeing this, Ling Jiu and the other two girls looked at each other. “Who is this guy?”
“Doesn’t look like a camp trainee!”
“Forget that, he’s totally not one! I know all of the trainees of in this round of training, there is no one like him!”
“Then who he is?”
Ling Jiu and the girls were puzzled. When the Direbeast disaster broke out, the Australian continent was abandoned and had turned into a Direbeast paradise.
It was only in recent years when Pangu set up the super training camp in the Australian continent that the place once again had human trace.
It could be said the people on the Australian continent were either trainees or trainers, and there were no outsiders here. So, who was this guy?
“He should be an Arcanist!”
Yang Ling’er suddenly said. “Since he’s an Arcanist, he should be registered with the Arcanist Directorate. Why don’t we get someone to check?”
“Make sense!”
Ling Jiu immediately took a few photos, and then he was stumped. “Who should we look for?”
The Arcanist Directorate was a government agency, one could investigate an Arcanist’s details there, sure! But that’s provided if you have someone inside to help you!
Connections make things run smoother!
“Let me try!”
Ai Yuhe also looked a few photos and sent it over. A moment later, the results came back.
“Yuhe, the person you are looking for is a trainee of the 6th super training camp, named Barry Kaiser…”
“Based on the records in the Directorate, he died in the Australian continent 2 years ago, and was a student that was eliminated from the camp!”
“He’s dead?”
